Azerbaijan has halted oil exports via the Georgian ports of Batumi and Kulevi as a result of hostilities between Russia and Georgia.

"Since last night the import and export of oil through the Georgian ports of Kulevi and Batumi has been halted," said Rovnag Abdullayev, the head of the Azeri state oil company SOCAR, in televised comments.

"This is due to armed actions in the area of the Georgia-Ossetia conflict," he added.

Georgian military forces began a large-scale military offensive against the South Ossetian separatists on Thursday night in order to regain control of the province, which declared independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
